I

the pet that follows you around

you called me the most mentally stable, mature and secure girl you have been with
just say that i can numb to feelings
and put up with you
I wasn't numb I just pretended to be
as the aftermath of your actions
and the predicament you put me in has now made me numb
you went on committing your foolishness
and I chose to be blind to it but that never meant that I couldn't see it
I definitely turned deaf to the rumors but that never meant I hadn't heard them
I show you looking at her through the mirror but just chose to pretend as though I was delusional
the mirror reflected your truth but
I learnt to love the cheater in you
now you can rightfully claim that I'm numb to feelings
because I intentionally learnt to
afterall I'm my teacher's pet
I eagerly wait for him
always the first in class
notepad in hand even I wanna learn all the tricks
all the other students knew better and ran
but I barked at your command and fetched the bone that held my owners affection
I obediently the bone at his feet or more like put my heart at his feet so that he can walk all over it
but know I no longer have to impress my teacher with how much pressure i can indure because I just graduated
and now the student will surpasse his teacher
afterall I learnt from the best
